I have a power converter designed for a recreational vehicle (see attachment) that works in parallel with one or more 12 volt batteries to delivery 12 volts at 50 amps.
Unfortunately it uses a ferroresonant transformer and is a good stable power supply but a lousy charger.
I would like to replace the ferroresonant transformer with a simple power transformer. I have looked on a number of websites but I am not an electrical engineer and I got lost.
I need help in selecting and finding a source for an appropriate transformer.
I need a power transformer with a 120 volt primary and a secondary voltage output of 15 to 16 volts. It needs to be able to supply between 50 and 60 amps.
In order to properly charge a 12 volt lead acid battery I need a voltage of about 14.8 volts.
There will be some voltage lose over the diodes but fortunately I can work with a rather wide range of secondary output voltages as the output in further control by a charge controller. The controller input can be anywhere between 12 and 50 volts.
Any assistance you all can give will be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
